First off i am posting on behalf of my father in law so sorry for the lack of detail of fittings. Im after any advise, good news or bad.
Back in 2010 my FIL done some work for a customer. Now at the end of 2015 he was informed that said work had started leaking, he was contacted about fixing it but i think he was unable to carryout the remedial work as soon as the customer would have liked. Now the customer has admitted he tried fixing it himself and it has gone wrong. I have since found out my FIL didn't have public liability insurance either :6:
A couple months ago my FIL received a letter through the door from the customers solicitor claiming for damages. My FIL and his friend replied to the letter themselves without the advise of a solicitor, after a few weeks of too-ing and throwing the customer has now stated he is taking my FIL to court.
I would like to know where he stands and who he could see for advise, he has now gone to a solicitor under my advise but the customer still wishes to pursue the claim.
FIL has not admitted liability as it will be general wear and tear besides after client admitted to tampering with it prior to leak. (This is all in writing). Client is trying to claim £135k for a leak which occurred whilst he was away, even claiming to cattery expenses. This to me seems unreasonable in itself.
any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Worried SIL
